Chapter 1307 I Want to Change My Mother (1)
Perhaps their luck ran out on the way here, and Chang Shuzhen and Xiang Yuanzhang actually encountered robbers on their way back to Shanghai. Of course, it is also possible that they were other people disguised as robbers, so the two of them were hunted down.
Even though Xiang Yuanzhang brought a lot of people to protect himself, these robbers were too strong and their weapons were very advanced. More than half of the people he brought died, and the remaining people were seriously injured before they managed to protect the two of them and escape from the robbers.
However, Chang Shuzhen was frail and became a burden to Xiang Yuanzhang, which resulted in half of his hand being chopped off while he was protecting her... This was already considered half-disabled. After returning to Shanghai, Xiang Yuanzhang's parents were furious and took their anger out on Chang Shuzhen, and began to break up the couple.
But how could the fate of the male and female protagonists be broken so easily? The more they were separated, the deeper their love became. In the end, Xiang Yuanzhang was completely abandoned by his father, and his position as heir was taken away by his younger brother, becoming a joke in Shanghai.
Although they did end up together, their family's patience with them had been exhausted. In the end, the Xiang family only gave them a little money and kicked them out of the house, leaving them to fend for themselves.
The endings of the other members of the Chang family were even worse than that of Chang Shuzhen. The Xiang family was angry with the Chang family because of the affair between Chang Shuzhen and Xiang Yuanzhang, so the Chang family's business was soon attacked and went bankrupt, and they also owed a lot of debts. Chang Gui's other concubines stole the family's money and ran away with others. The eldest wife Li Fupei divorced him and returned to her parents' home. Chang Gui's other children got married or ran away from home, and in the end, only Chang Gui was left, an old man, wandering on the streets... The coldness of the Chang family was not just towards Chang Shichu. When disaster struck, wouldn't they even abandon their own father/husband? It was also retribution.
Chang Shichu ran a medium-sized restaurant in Qing'an City. Apart from the fact that the food tasted better and the business was better, it was not too eye-catching.
After Wei Yu'an joined the army, he often wrote back, always reporting good news but not bad news. However, Chang Shichu knew that it would not be possible for him to have a smooth life and it would be impossible for him to go to the battlefield without getting injured, so he often sent him various pills to prevent him from dying too quickly.
A few years later, the war ended and a new country was established. Wei Yu'an, as he said, became an invincible general on the battlefield and could serve as a backer for Chang Shichu. No one could bully them anymore. An Bang also retired after achieving success and became a founding hero, continuing to fight for the development of the new country. Pu Qirui unfortunately lost a hand on the battlefield, but he was able to survive and come back to reunite with his family, and finally continued to work diligently for the new government...
————————————————————————————————————————————
When Shi Chu entered this world, he heard a shrill female voice chattering, "The man that your aunt is introducing to you this time is better than the previous ones! He is only 25 years old, but he is already the head chef in a restaurant and can earn 1,500 to 1,600 yuan a month! He is also handsome and has a lot of eyes on him. Your aunt has asked many people to introduce him to you this time. If you don't seize this opportunity, you will never find a better one in the future!"
Moreover, Zhao Baishan has a younger brother who is in college. When his younger brother graduates and starts working, he will definitely repay Zhao Baishan. After all, it was Zhao Baishan who earned money to support his studies. How can he be so ungrateful and not repay his elder brother and sister-in-law’s kindness... So, Erni, if you marry Zhao Baishan in the future, you can expect your younger brother-in-law to be filial to you!"
Erni, no, when Li Shichu opened his eyes, he saw an old woman in her fifties or sixties with high cheekbones and triangular eyes talking eloquently with saliva flying everywhere.
Chang Shichu quickly sat further away from her, fearing that the saliva would splash on him.
"You stupid girl! I'm talking to you, are you deaf?!" The woman with triangular eyes got angry when she saw that she was absent-minded, and glared at her.
"Aunt, I heard it." Li Shichu answered her quickly, fearing that she would continue to chatter and repeat what she had just said.
"I'm glad you heard it. We'll meet at Lao Laizi Restaurant at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Remember to get up early and dress up so that Zhao Baishan won't be able to walk when he sees you. Do you understand?" Auntie repeatedly reminded Li Shichu.
"I understand, I understand. I won't forget it." Li Shichu nodded and replied.
After hearing the answer that satisfied her, the aunt slowly left Li Shichu's house.
The original owner was a girl whose parents had both passed away. She was raised by her grandparents since she was a child, but her grandparents died when she was ten and twelve years old respectively, so she had to live with her uncle and aunt.
However, her uncle's family had three children and life was not easy, so the original owner did not have a good life in her uncle's family. In addition to doing heavy farm work every day, she also had to do housework when she got home. In addition, she had to endure the disgust and beatings from her aunt and cousins. She lived like a workaholic every day, but she dared not complain or resist at all, for fear of being abandoned.
Although her aunt had been a bit mean to her in the past, Zhao Baishan, who was introduced to her this time, was indeed a good candidate: he had a good appearance and had a job that could earn money, both of which were much better than most of the men in the village who worked in the fields to make a living.
In the original world's plot, the original owner did go on a blind date with Zhao Baishan, and Zhao Baishan fell in love with her at first sight. Although the original owner was timid and thin, she had a pretty face. Even the heavy farm work did not make her face rough and black. She was considered to be outstanding in the surrounding area. The original owner's cousin was jealous of her for this reason and bullied her all day long.
Zhao Baishan took a liking to the original owner, and the original owner naturally had no objection. She just wanted to escape from her uncle's house by getting married, and she didn't really care who she married.
So soon, after the uncle's family received a large sum of betrothal gifts from Zhao Baishan, the original owner married Zhao Baishan. In the second year of their marriage, she gave birth to their only son, Zhao Chengyun.
Although Zhao Baishan and the original owner came from an ordinary family, they loved their only son very much. They took good care of him since he was born, and when he was ready to go to school, they spent a lot of money to send him to a kindergarten in the city, hoping that he could be an early bird and not fall behind too many children in the city.
However, Zhao Chengyun's qualifications were ordinary, not a child prodigy. When he entered elementary school, his grades were always in the middle and lower levels. The original owner and Zhao Baishan gritted their teeth and spent money to hire a tutor to give Zhao Chengyun extra lessons until he entered high school, just to enable him to study well, get into a good university, and live and work in a big city like his uncle Zhao Songshan, and become a decent city dweller.
Because it cost a lot of money to hire a tutor for Zhao Chengyun, the family's financial situation has always been very tight. Even though Zhao Songshan would help out sometimes, it was impossible for him to do so all the time, so they could not let Zhao Chengyun live a luxurious life.
